A new study finds GM genes are still entering native Mexican maize varieties despite a ban on GM maize cultivation in Mexico. The research, led by Dr Sarah Agapito-Tenfen, examines community seed management and social organization in Oaxaca as factors determining contamination.
Contamination concerns can affect market access and segregation premiums for non-GM maize, which matters for buyers sourcing corn from Mexico. The direct price impact is limited, as this is a research and regulatory story rather than a supply shock.
